Under theinfluence of Raymond Keene, a great many British players were playing it arounAccording to the late Mikhail Botvinnik, setting up the pawns on d4, c4 and e4is the strongest answer to the Modern Defence. I have usually preferred my`stock' recipe; a counterattack against the d4 square.!!Reaching a kind of King's Indian Defence in which the fact that Black's knighthas not been developed on f6 yet means that he can sometimes play ...f7-f5before bringing it out. White takes immediate measures against this.! ! One of the best moves I have ever played. The idea, should White playquietly now, is to prise open the queenside with .... b5 followed by ....a6.And there are other points should White capture on f4.The line which most beautifully illustrates the power of the Rook move at #14isand nowWhite, by the way, loses a piece afteropening up the b-file.!!Orfollowed by 22...e3. White lost on time by he could equally have resigned. I still count this asmy most artistic miniature. This next game was one of the wins which earned myfirst Grandmaster norm in Oslo 1988.

It's notquite a King's Indian but in this game Black eventually fires off a classicKI-style King's-side attack.

If I had played 1. e5 it would be okay.(3) Nc3 would strengthen his grip on d5 and prevent my next move. (4) Frees Black's game and forces White to move the bishop again.(5) Maybe d4 would be better.(6) Three moves invested in the bishop and now he has nothing to show for it.(7) In view of a possible d4 this move is a waste of time. The bishop shouldgo to d2 not b2. The e3 square will become an outpost (a la Nimzowitsch) forfour pieces!(8) Pretty much forced. White can't leave the bishop on the open diagonalsince he has no way to oppose it. (9) The rook replaces the bishop and can swing to the kingside if necessary.What replaced white's knight and bishop? Nothing. White has nothing to showfor the six moves invested in those pieces.(10) If instead Ne4 then Black still plays Nd5.(11) Heading for e3 ever since 13 d4.(12) Somehow White must try to hold e3. The early 3. f4 looks a bit silly now.(13) To give e3 additional support from the Re8 (overprotect) and prevent apossible c3 pawn break.(14) Supports f4 but creates another open diagonal into the king position.It's difficult to find good moves for White now.(15) Black replaces each piece traded with another. White on the other handdevelops a piece then trades it off.(16) With the bishop of f6, White is afraid to leave the rook on a1. White hasno plan, he is simply reacting move by move to Black's threats. Black has beencentering his play around the e3 square.(17) Threatening the knight on e2, but actually reinforcing his grip on e3.White's position is rather sewn shut. Black must now focus on the weakkingside.(18) The real reason for Qe8. Black wants the h1-a8 diagonal that his bishopused to own.(19) White has given Black two free moves: Qe8 and Qc6. The position is thesame as on White's 20. Rf2, except now Black's queen has gone from d8 to c6! (20) This pawn will probe the kingside.(21) To make e3 available to the other rook. If 24. RxR, then QxR with therook going to e3 anyway.(22) White must prevent hxg. If 26. gxh, then Bxh4 with other problems, whileh3 sets up mating threats on g2 with the Black queen.(23) White must be extremely careful, the bishop attacks the knight andthreatens the White queen.(24) If NxR, then dxe gets a free piece or the queen.(25) The fourth piece to use the e3 square.l@סWPȂƕ?4,- ڋ! bN86Tms@&W}ਢp_9, Ga,on#CfnԖoforcing an exchange he had earlier avoidedaHt*[Qp C{QF \;#̔{O Ic>UY=\V[ QU4Ix:]YD ԻMfClosed SicilianGrand Prix attack/Larsen-Vincken variationAlapin variationMorra gambit declined - transposes to Alapin variationMorra gambit declined - transposes to alapin variationMorra gambit acceptedc,[P=9reUcüw=SU~w|CrBw_{0H0Fy :Y)o节c_'K}W@ ,(qٸXHZ%)QnξT46J&-(:kh](1) White gambits a pawn.

By takingthe pawn he aids White's development. (4) Opens a diagonal for the bishop, but seriously weakens d6. Better is d6.(5) The most aggressive square for this bishop. The gambiteer must beaggressive.(6) Prepares a later b5 to chase the bishop on c4, but really prevents aknight excursion by: Nc3-Nb5-Nc7 along with a White rook on c1.(7) White has an ideal position; he hs all the open attacking lines. He needsto decide where to place the queen bishop and queen. If Black allows an e5push by White then d6 is doomed.(8) This does two things: allows the knight to go to g6 to hold back White'scoming e5, and might allow Black to get in d5 especially if the other knightcan get to b4.(9) Prevents Ng6 and d5. In order to chase the bishop Black must weaken a pawnaround the king. d6 is staring White is the face shouting "Use Me!!!" How manypieces does Black have in play? How many moves is he from castling?(10) Is this really a threat? Examine the consequences in your mind's eye.Write down variations on paper to keep track of the moves.(11) Black saw the results of axBb5 and didn't like the knight on b5 after therecapture. Instead, he makes the weakening pawn move anticipated by eighthmove. At this point Black is too cramped, and White has too many pieces in pla(12) Better than dxB If dxB, then White could play: 12. Qe2 fxB, 13. Rfd1Qc7?, 14. Nxg5 with a later Qf3, e5 and Nce4.(13) The wrong square for the bishop. Black needs to bolster his king positionto ward off any White attack. Better was Be7 which would prevent White's nextmove.(14) Vacates e4 for the knight, attacks f6 and puts additional pressure on d6.White has several options: Ne4 with Rc1. A knight on e4 would also allow Whiteto pressure f6. Notice that the e5 pawn is immune to capture because of the pi(15) Too late for this now. Examine Black's position if he had made this moveinstead of Bc5 and White had pushed e5 anyway. Black could have responded withf5, forced a piece trade and castled on his next move.(16) This forces the Black queen to a bad square and brings another Whitepiece into the vicinity of Black's king. (17) The real point behind e5. With the Black king bishop gone, White canattack from d6.(18) The last thing he should do is waste moves on white pawns. Every pawnBlack removes opens another possible attacking option.(19) Rb1 gives White new ideas: Nb7 BxN, and RxB together with the queen ond7.(20) If Kf7, then Nd6+, NxB and Rb7; or Kd8, then Nxg7, Nxe6+; or Kf8, thenRb6, Rxc6, and Qd8.(21) This rook can go to g3, or d3 then d6.mCא7{pm:$yz?p-VU~qe]םdծ<}Uup?;Q} P'tRr +)B?K၄lT- lgeW:ҫs KE]: `dO},ե4S HnS<fYא5q_+B>P FwMbHߐ'6ڰ\B/ZW b-*fv?4᷶h?xt.2lɮO<;~ux?#T將@O@%!K&P P<.oY_u4:Xb:Q스D+*p7UBc24Jx1@㡙WhYzcɾz=Z1x4NhUVoDF White is tempted to an over-aggressive line in order to justify the Pawnsacrifice.0-1 Ackerman-King, Bern 1992to at least equality for blackand here White can't protect the crucial pawn c3, and taking on d4 doesn'tlook reasonable at allafter which I don't have idea for White for it doesn't even threaten to takeon d4: 8. cxd4 Nxd4 9.Nxd4 Qxc1+ 10.

White is not prepared for this early attack. He should get hisking off the half-open "c" file with Kb1 instead. Believe it or not my nextmove is a direct attack on his king (an x-ray attack).(6) Better is Kb1 now.(7) If instead Nxh5 White will play RxN and have an open "h" file for a readymade attack; thus sayeth Fischer.
